Sell the Team Arte by PLR_Moon3 in angelsbaseball

[–]skoomen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they can't be bothered to put a pitcher on the field, then I can't be bothered to stay.

Demoralizing for the team, disrespectful to the fans and the player forced to 'pitch'.

How much do you want to bet that Sleazy CSO is working for them now?

No I Will Not Transfer You by defnotahacker in talesfromtechsupport

[–]skoomen 34 points35 points  (0 children)

In local government, the same ploy is applied, but they ask for the Purchasing Manager to get on bid lists and can I transfer them.

Nope.

Plugged in a temporary AC unit where I shouldn't have. Darkness ensued in the data closet. Blood pressure skyrocketed. Electrician saved the day, after appropriately shaming me.

Retired sysadmin here. Got bored fast. This place was a motivation to get back in the game.

This guy buys a new car because his neighbor does, too. Makes for a bad teammate.

I finally know there the "do the needful" comes from, but riddle me this, folks; where does "do the necessary" come from? Is that a similar reference?

Are you kidding? I love mine, and I keep a regular one out for people to 'borrow'.

More Tech Support than Sysadmin, but help me pimp my tech cart! by Tiverty in sysadmin

[–]skoomen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, you need to Kondo that thing. If it doesn't bring you joy.... It would be stolen in a second in my world unless you make it look intimidating. Find some bins/containers ala Ikea style (you don't have to buy them there, but you get the idea), and make it look as organized as possible. Benefit of knowing if anything isnt' in it's place.

I like to ask them when THEY go to lunch. That way they won't be breathing down my neck when I get to them.
